A description is given of a 10 MW rocket-driven MHD (magnetohydrodynamic) disk generator system that has been designed as part of the feasibility study of multimegawatt MHD space power systems for Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI) mission applications. The experimental system consists of a plasma generator/injector, a supersonic nozzle, a parallel-wall disk channel, and a diffuser. The magnetic field is provided by a heat sink cryogenic magnet coil. Facility support systems include a reactant feed system, a cooling system, and the required instrumentation and control system. The fuel is an aluminum-monomethylhydrazine gel. The oxidizer is a potassium nitrate-IRFNA solution. Fabrication of the system components was initiated early in 1989. Testing is planned for the second half of 1989.
